That p. Elk, Robbery,

CHICAGO, October l3.-The News spe-
cial says: 1t now appears that mis-
leading clues were thrown out reporting
the Pacific express steal. 1t was said
yesterday that there had been no rob-
berry at all, but facts are furnished by
the PlnkertOn agency that Messenger J,
b. Owens stole about S26,0C0. which he
brought to St. Louis and buried near
the outskirts of that city. Owens then
came to Chicago and went direct to
the home of his brOther-in-law. Mr..
Tichnor. Meanwhile detectives had in
tercepted telegram from Owens to his
wife, In which he stated that everything
would turn out all right, and told her
not to be alarmed. Detective Pinker-
ton then went to the fremont house and
arrested Owens as he was returning
from drive. At first he
was very stubborn, and refused to
talk about the robbery, but upon the
failure OF his wife to appear, as she had
promised, be broke down and made a
confession, telling where he had plan ted
the money. Pinkerton accordingly
LETT with Owens on Tuesday night for
st. Louis, and a dispatch was received
here yesterday stating that S23, 900 of
the money had been recovered and there
was no doubt that the balance would be
found in short time. The company
will probably not prosecute Owens.

CHICAGO, October Is Concerning the

terview with DR.. G. Ii. Mcclure, Of
Boone Grove. Those remains which were
recovered are Of persons who were sit

fell outwards when the oharred Frame
work fell to pieces, but those who
we're sitting inside and whose remains
fell on the rails were burned to a DOW
der and not a Vestige of them except
perhaps few pieces of bone could be
found. The heat between these rails
was sufficient to have calcined and de-
strOyed all remains. In such q heat
when the charred mass cooled 1t would

and nothing would ever be known OF
them. | was told by one Of the wreckers
that: "we saw little heaps of bodies''and
this WAS 0OrrObOrated by the statements
of Others, and doubtless that WAS all that
remained Of those who fell between the
tracks, for when heat is sufficient to
make rails underneath red hot to
warp and bend them In every conceiy-
able shape, ii ts almost as intense as IN q
crematOry. DR.. Mcclure states that the
number burned to death is at least 16 or Is

and his total is even higher than the
press estimate. DR.. Mcclure says: Sat

They Endorsed II.

The following report of the public improve.
ment committee, on their examination of the
work on Lexington Avenue and Fourth street.
is republished for the benefit of all:
We have thoroughly inspected the new
street improvements in course Of construction
by Contractor Braden and others and md ii
peri city satisfactory and far superior to
work done previously for the city. The curb
ing is "a inches deep, Telford pavement S
inches and gravel inches, which makes
road Ii inches deep instead of IL, as previously
contracted for. The centres of streets are 10
inches higher than the cutters, thereby giving
better draina The reasons for putting in the
gravel in one course of inches is that il
binds better than when il was put in in two
courses-One four inches thick and the other
two inches. Wefound that where the small
screened gravel was put on top that unless
kept continually wet IL cut to pieces, as is
shown by some of the streets having deep
holes in the centre now and being worn down
TO the coarse gravel, like Presa street and
Main avenue.
We would also advise thai no more wooden
curbing be used, as the curbing put i'm last
spring is now in many cases rotten and worth
less.

completed at a cost of Sll5.

A Confidence Game.

A stranger very successfully worked a
confidence racket on several Main plazs
and DolOrosa street saloon keepers few
days since. He went to each OF them,
called them by name and told them he
was commissioned by friend In South
America to deliver parrot and two
MONKEYS as q present. He had a car OF
monkeys at the Sunset depot and If they
would send down they could get the
present. Each one bit, Of course, and
thinking him a fine gentleman, treated
him to drinkP and cigars, Sd libitum,
until two of the bar-Keepers sent ex-
press wagons to the Sunset depot and
learned that no car load Of monkeys had
come In over the road for week or 40
past, Then they saw the sell and shut
up, and 1t only leaked out recently.

segment Trace of Him Is

Urgent enquiries are being made for a
Bavarisn named Louis Lipp, who works
on the farm of Andrew Wackerjagen,
near San Marcos. He left that point
about two weeks ago, with $50 or $50 in
his pocket, intending to buy suit OF
clothes In which he proposed to stand
sponsor for his employers child, and
since then nothing has been heard OF
him. His employer has written his
friend, N. Wise, but no trace can be
found OF him. Lipp's conduct Ia all the
more mysterious as, at the time OF his
disappearance, he was daily expecting q
large remittance from his native coun-
try. That money has since come, and Ia
now In the hands of the San Marcos
bankers, Green & Co., and they have not
heard from him. For sundry reasons
foul play is suspected and the matter
will be placed In the hands OF the police.
Lipp Ia described as an Intelligent work
ingman, % years OF age, brOnzed COM
plexion, and as having black hair and
moustache. During his stay In San Mar
cos he won the reputation OF being an
honest, sober and industrious man, and
this fact makes the matter more mystic.

LIttle'S "World"

This company did not appear at the
Grand last night until $3.50 O'Clock, and
the time was ll:45 before the curtain
fell. The audience were good nstured
about it. The company Is a very ordin
airy one as far as talent is concerned, but
the scenery more than made up for this
defect. The ocean steamer, the sinking
ship, the raft and the billowy OceaO
were very naturally put on, while the
panorama and the revolving wall were
well arranged. All the scenery WAS not
put on last night, but will be tonight, as
there will be no matinee this afternoon.
Considering the little time the company
had after their late arrival, due on &C.

was well displayed.
